Morris Broadband Internet speeds increased for most of its business and residential highspeed packages on Dec. 4. The business packages affected will increase both in download and upload speeds. The business basic package will increase from 4Mb/640k to 7Mb/896k, Plus Package 7Mb/896k to 10Mb/1.5Mb, and advance package 10Mb/1.5Mb to 12Mb/2Mb.

The residential packages will also increase from 8Mb/512k to 10Mb/1Mb, which makes up the majority of Morris Broadband High Speed Internet customers. For Triple Play customers who utilize video, Internet and phone, the increase will be from 10Mb/1Mb to 12Mb/2Mb.

Last year, Morris Broadband launched DOCSIS 3 technology, which is capable of up to 100Mbps download speeds to go along with its Fiber Solutions product.

“Due to the upgrade to DOCSIS 3 technology, we have a more robust infrastructure throughout our systems,” said Mike Kai, director of marketing at Morris Broadband. “The increase in Internet speeds is a result of the upgrade and a benefit to our customers. We have also reduced the DOCSIS 3 package prices, lowering both residential and business rates for 25Mb, 50Mb and 100 Mb services.
